Does the decision to lift Newfoundland’s cod moratorium adequately consider climate change?

Marine scientists and conservationists are calling on officials to pause Newfoundland and Labrador's commercial capelin fishery.

Concealed behind trees near Lake Michigan, two scientists remotely manipulated a robotic owl on the forest floor. As the intruder flapped its wings and hooted, a merlin guarding its nest in a nearby pine darted overhead, sounding high−pitched, rapid−fire distress calls.

Marine biologist Christine Stortini explains how overfishing throws ocean ecosystems out of whack and makes ocean life more susceptible to the ill effects of climate change.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has decided to increase the annual Atlantic cod quota despite stocks remaining critically low for three decades, a move Oceana Canada is calling “a recipe for disaster.”

A new report identifies grey seals as the main cause of a decline in cod stocks in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence that could drive the fish to extinction by mid-century.

A survey of sea life in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence has found corals, sharks, sharp-toothed wolffish and even an unexpected invertebrate along with the crustaceans and groundfish that make the region a fishing mecca.

The Ocearch research team came to Nova Scotia this fall on a hunch.

Fishermen forced their way into the Department of Fisheries headquarters to protest cuts to shrimp quotas and access to fishing areas off Newfoundland and Labrador.

Almost 25 years after a sweeping commercial fishing ban that devastated Newfoundland, northern cod are making something of a comeback — sparking calls that the fishery be expanded again.

A new study from Greenpeace International shows that climate change is allowing fishing fleets to push further north than ever before.
